Ok, so there is a weekly flea market right by my house. I went there bright and early this morning and this lady was selling fat quarters and yards of fabric. I just got 150 Fat Quarters and about 15 separate yards of fabric for $30!!!! There is easily over $300 in fabric here 
Fat quarters at my Joann's are $2 a piece and of course a yard is anywhere from $3 to $10....and her yards are not from Joann's but from a LQS. I'm so excited!!!

Oh dear a steal. I know that having to use that word must be heavy on your heart and I want to help you feel better, cleanse your conscience of course. So, I am willing to help you out by having you pack up at least 1/2 of your illgotten gains and send them to me. My soul is hardy and can take it and after all, what are quilting buddies for if not to help each other? Consider it a mitzvah (good deed). * gives big eyed innocent look * I just want to help you out.

She obviously didn't know the hidden value!!!!
I went to a meet and greet in south florida last week at a fabric store.
Since I have a new-to-me sewing room that is almost finished, I am going to decorate and fell in love with one of the fabrics.
I was getting six yards and walked around with it, hugged up to my chest.
After a bit, one of the cutters asked me,
"Are you ready for me to cut that or are you still bonding?"
